I'm a 38 year old guy working in the typical office environment doing the whole business casual thing. I don't care much for shopping or clothes so when I find something I like I tend to stick with it. I've been wearing Nunn Bush Oxford shoes for years and I love the look and feel. They cost around $65 a pair which being frugal I still think is robbery but they always looked nice and are extremely comfortable. I'm guessing people know where this is headed, but I assume to boost the bottom line the company has replaced the rubber sole with a material that has the durability of a Styrofoam cooler. The pair I'm wearing now are dead and were purchased on 2/8/19. I tried a few brands of Dockers and they held up better but were far less comfortable. I tried Rockports and I was surprised about how their quality has fallen. So my questions are....
1. Am I expecting too much from a $65 shoe?
2. Do any office warriors or retired office warriors have any suggestions of a Men's oxford that is comfortable and still made well?
Thanks everyone. It's hilarious that my first post is about shoes but I hate wasting $$$$ on things that fall apart.
